Oh, I don't mind split tickets per se, but I am a terror if the train does not stop there...

Every time I've met a member, with the exception of one, it was unexpected! Not all in unusual places though! One was on the Stockport to Stalybridge parliamentary, one was the guard on my train, one I actually knew, but didn't know he was on here!
I think I've met you. Aren't you the man who stands on the platform telling people that the restrictions printed on advance tickets are completely optional and it's fine to get any train?
Distinctly possible you have seen me. I'm the one pulling out the seat reservations and putting the fear of God into passengers with suitcases on seats and those with split tickets!
Having unexpectedly met Flamingo, I can verify that he is a terrifying individual, putting fear into the hearts of passengers everywhere
As this thread is still open...
It's actually quite disconcerting when you're standing at the far end of Epsom Station checking out the 377 in the siding with your son to find that the individual approaching with the notebook is someone you're already acquainted with.
Well done Peter Mugridge for working out I was me, I certainly hadn't clicked that you were you until then. Nice to meet in person and share a 455, however briefly! (Shame it wasn't a 456...)
I'm not sure if this qualifies as I did sort of expect to see this forum member due to it being their stomping ground but it wasn't guaranteed by prior arrangement. However, I bumped into trentside as they were joining a service to Newark Northgate that I was living to get a service to East Midlands Parkway. Nice to be able to say hello anyway

Likewise, and it did take me totally by surprise - so unexpected for me.
Whereas I'm a regular on your services now!
You never know; I am in Aviemore at the moment though will probably not be straying far from the Strathspey Railway tomorrow.Well, me and a few other members are approaching Thurso - I will be very surprised if we unexpectedly bump into any other members up here
On Saturday I saw Death participating in the the LGBT Pride parade in London!
Anywhere prominent? I walked past pretty much the entire route of the parade on my way home around 2:30pm, sweltering hot in my shirt and tie!
Going to feel so stupid if it wasn't him at all .
Ah. Sorry to be the one to question your sanity. At the time I was somewhere near Moreton-on-Lugg, and was certainly not accompanied by a lady and two young kids (unless I'm running two lives without knowing it) The only female accompanying me was a chocolate Labrador.
So, it seems I have a doppelganger. I shall have to be vigilant.
